A special themed "night running" event will take place in downtown Pest on Friday night in which entrants are asked to dress up as tourists.

 

The race, which is being organized by the Buapest Night Running group (Budapesti Éjszakai Futás) will start at 10 pm on Vörösmarty tér, which will also be the finish line.

 

The distance will be a little more than 8 km but anyone can drop out at any stage of the race.

 

Props and themes that can be used by contestans include water bottle, VHS cameras, backpacks, souvenirs such as "matyó dolls" and strings of dried paprika, gypsy music or money changing.
